Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

118 Your Life, Your Choice 2

Thankfully, Li Meili, as well as Lin Qianrou, who just came back from her month-long honeymoon with Xu Wenyang, offered to look after her twins while she and Qin Jiran weren't around. Still, she couldn't shrug off this feeling that she was babysitting He Lianchen and Qin Jiran at the same time.

Gu Yuyao did tell her to look after He Lianchen, but she never told her that she should keep He Lianchen in Shenzhen, forbidding him to follow her to Beijing. It also didn't help that Qin Jiran agreed to his friend's request and decided to go with him to retrieve Gu Yuyao.

This wasn't Tang Moyu's first time here in Beijing. She used to frequently travel here when she was still working with Feng Conglomerate, but she never liked staying in this busy city for too long. However this time, she found herself sitting in the backseat of Qin Jiran's car with him beside her.

He was still holding her hand as if he was afraid that she would leave him at any given chance. She raised a brow at him in question, but Qin Jiran only gave her a grin and held her hand tighter.

"I'm not a kid. I'm not going to get lost here." She reminded him.

"But I could be. Aren't you worried that your boyfriend would get lost in this city?" He retorted and grinned like a Cheshire cat.

Tang Moyu choked at that. This was the first time she heard Qin Jiran addressing himself as her boyfriend. Cross that, she never had a boyfriend before, so she wasn't sure how she should react to it.

Ever since their short talk during Gu Yuyao's birthday party, the man had been persistent in getting her attention and was being affectionate with her. Qin Jiran had been attentive to her meals, but he didn't dare to touch her intimately, yet.

"Ah, Mr. Qin need not worry about it. I'm pretty sure women would be willing to stand in line to offer their help to you." She replied, refusing to meet his gaze as she chose to look outside the window.

"My, my. I didn't know my girlfriend is the jealous type. Don't worry, I'm sure they wouldn't take an interest in a crippled old man like me." Qin Jiran continued to tease her. He really liked to see her blushing because of him.

Was she really the same cold empress everyone was talking about?

He remembered Li Meili mentioning once that Tang Moyu initially thought that the crippled man her twins were meeting at the cafeteria was an old uncle. Since then, he never missed a chance to tease her by calling himself an old uncle.

"You are crippled but not paraplegic. It's not like you can't ever walk again." Tang Moyu corrected him. She tried to snatch her hand back from his grip but failed.

He Lianchen who was sitting in the co-pilot seat put on his headphones and turned the volume of the music up. Dear God, he never imagined there would be a day where he would witness the devil flirting like this. What's more, with the ice empress of Shenzhen of all people.

It also surprised him to know that the empress was willing to go to the extent of accompanying them to another city to make sure that her friend was alright, but he couldn't blame her. They didn't hear anything from Gu Yuyao since she left and they couldn't reach her through her phone.

Did her family decide to keep her a prisoner for running away for years from her obligation as the daughter of the Gu family?

After what Gu Yuyao experienced in that family, how could he let her go like that? Maybe she had to face all of them in the past, had to hide and sneak away, but not anymore. Not this time. Gu Yuyao had him and he would prove that he could stand beside her.

After an hour of driving, they reached a family mansion owned by the Gu family. The place was at least five times larger than the empress's place back at Peach Blossom Garden. He Lianchen wondered if this was the same home that Gu Yuyao grew up in.

The steel gates opened automatically, letting their car enter the property. Once they stepped out, Tang Moyu helped Qin Jiran settle onto his wheelchair before moving behind him to push it.

She still couldn't believe how Qin Jiran managed to set a meeting between them and elder Gu, Gu Yuyao's grandfather. How did he do that? She wondered.

An elderly butler wearing an impeccable uniform greeted them at the front door.

"Welcome. Master Gu is expecting your company today." He faced Feng Tianyi. "Young Master—" But his words were cut off by the devil's words. The sharpness in Feng Tianyi's eyes wasn't lost to him.

"I am Qin Jiran. This is Tang Moyu." He introduced the woman behind him before turning to He Lianchen, "and this is my private lawyer, He Lianchen… Sister Yuyao's man."

The old man was taken aback by his introduction. This wasn't the first time he'd met Feng Tianyi, as the Song and the Gu family were closely related.

However, he couldn't understand why Young Master Feng had to introduce himself as Qin Jiran? Not only that, but he also brought the fallen empress of Shenzhen with him. As for the other man who's accompanying him today, was he truly their Young Miss's lover?
